“ you could want someone to change so much . You ca n’t contain anyone else ’s activity , you ca n’t control people ’s flavor . ”
SingerElle Kinggot brutally honest about her complicated relationship with her famous father.
In case you didn’t know, Elle is the child of former model London King and comedianRob Schneider.
She’s talked in the past about how she and her dad have beenestrangedat different points in her life. Now, appearing on this week’s episode of Bunnie XO’sDumb Blondepodcast, the “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer didn’t hold back in criticizing him while describing their “toxic” dynamic.
When prompted to talk about her dad, Elle said that she and Rob could go “four or five years” without speaking. She also said she’s received angry phone calls from him in the past when she’s talked about their relationship publicly.
Talking more about her childhood, the 35-year-old also recalled being body-shamed by her dad and sent to a “fat camp” to lose weight.
Last month, Rob made headlines for claiming that a portion of the Olympics opening ceremony featuring drag queensdisrespected Christianityand “openly” celebrated Satan by seemingly depicting Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper.”
Referring to this, Elle distanced herself from her father and emphasized that they do not share the same political beliefs.
Earlier this month, Elle weighed in on the “nepo baby” debate and said she doesn’t feel she benefited from nepotism in her career because she and her dad “weren’t even speaking” when she got signed to her music label.
When the topic was discussed again on theDumb Blondepodcast, Elle doubled down, saying that he “never” helped her and that she didn’t want his help either.
